list of vocabulary.

This following comes from Maltz (edited for format only - the original
mail had HTML formatting):

polygon - mey’
  triangle - ra’Duch
    equilateral triangle - ra’Duch tIQ
    isosceles triangle - ra’Duch quv  or  vayya’
  quadrilateral - loS reD mey’
    square - meyrI’
    rectangle - letbaQ
  pentagon - vagh reD mey’
  etc.

    etc.
